Reminder that connecting the Jewish community as a whole to sex crimes was literally a staple of Nazi Germany’s Der Stürmer. These guys are little more clever— Der Stürmer frequently invented theirs, while Epstein’s crimes are real— but it’s the same antisemitic trick.https://twitter.com/DavidFutrelle/status/1148977685756022784 …

Chapo Trap House’s Matt Christman was getting in on this, too, invoking no fewer than four antisemitic tropes yesterday in his condemnation of Epstein’s plea deal. There’s no such thing as “ironic” antisemitism, folks. All of it helps mainstream hateful ideas.pic.twitter.com/OJgu7RA0ah

Yes, your friend’s antisemitism is “ironic,” despite the fact that it’s literally indistinguishable from real antisemitism.

Insinuating that Acosta cut a deal for a Jewish criminal on behalf of a “ruling class” of “ritual pedophiles” is definitely antisemitic, which is what Christman did.

He’s calling a convicted pedophile a pedophile and calling wealthy people with ties to the government and positions in the a ruling class. That’s all just true, and you’re lending credence to fascist coopting of legitimate leftist complaints

It’s pretty easy to criticize pedophiles without invoking antisemitic stereotypes, but Christman managed to invoke four of them in 280 characters.
